Inverted only compound containing unsaturated alcohol (4)
I believe the answer is:
enol
'compound containing unsaturated alcohol' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'inverted only' is the wordplay.
'inverted' is a reversal indicator.
'only' becomes 'lone' (synonyms).
'lone' back-to-front is 'ENOL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for enol that I've seen is " chemical".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
